A box that could only be unlocked with a key that you held and once opened would let you explore and print out those moments that your hold dear. Ham is that box – an analog box for digital things.

<p></p><p><p class="first">Notifications from digital devices are often like the glass form they sit behind - hard, cold and unforgiving. Paper on the other hand is exactly the opposite – soft, warm and tactile to the touch. Sarah lets you create a notification that alerts you, but in a gentle, silent unobtrusive manner. This digital connected object frees the paper from behind the glass and uses the warm subtle qualities of the analog world to create ambient notifications that inform in a more human, charming manner.</p> <p>Part of the Six Monkeys project for Mailchimp.

Nim places such a switch for your email next to a regular light switch so when you feel like switching off for the weekend, just flick the switch and email will be prevented from coming through the network across all your devices. By changing the context of how we turn email off and on we might better manage our relationship to it, easily able to switch off whenever we feel like it.</p> <p>Part of the Six Monkeys project for Mailchimp.

<p></p><p><p class="first">Emails are often a container for our memories. Like physical souvenirs they remind us of wonderful times spent with family and friends yet unlike souvenirs they don't exist in the physical space so we can't easily bump into them like you can when rummaging through a box of things.</p> <p>Lana transforms these emails into a literal physical form, that sits alongside and amongst other physical souvenirs. Disturb Lana by moving her and sometime later that day Lana will send you an email with those memories; connecting analog to digital.

This is email as an API, without having to write a specific API. Have a device or a service that can send email? Then it can automatically talk with Lucy. In our research we hooked it up to ifttt.com, without having to create any kind of specific channel, and had it telling us changes in the weather, sending us alerts to remind us about important appointments and anything else we could think of.</p> <p>Part of the Six Monkeys project for Mailchimp.

<p>Wise words from Ron Arad. Whilst printing lots of things is part of the process of getting to know 3D printing, pushing the buttons to see what happens (and god knows I’ve done my fair share of printing unneeded things), eventually you have to stand back and ask what is this good for? I don’t think the world needs anymore Darth Vader key rings or badly designed jewellery.</p>
<p>You look at Ron Arad was doing with rapid prototyping years ago and it’s better than 99% of the stuff on Thingiverse. But of course, he’s Ron Arad.</p>http://everythingimakewithmymakerbot.com/post/61396576392Mon, 16 Sep 2013 10:18:00 +0000Prototyping a little box/enclosure system using a snap-fit tab...http://everythingimakewithmymakerbot.com/post/61396415805

In the past I’ve used off the shelf boxes and then drilled or cut the required openings or I’ve had laser cut boxes made that I then stick together. But I’ve never been happy with any of these solutions. I also tried using my original Thing-o-matic Makerbot but even if I could fit it on the build plate I’d just get a huge amount of curling and warping.</p>
<p>So when I was needing an enclosure for the latest version of my <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://brendandawes.com/projects/happinessmachine">Happiness Machine</a> I revisited the Makerbot except this time I had the Replicator 2 but more importantly I had the latest version of Makerware, the printing software created by Makerbot. Printing with the raft option, just on standard, the results were fantastic. Yes this is not yet shop bought quality but it’s getting there and it was certainly good enough for the exhibition it was planned to go in. No warping, no curling, just nuclear green loveliness!</p>
<p>The reason I upgraded to the Replicator 2 was so I could use it to create this kind of thing, so my studio at home could do everything I needed it to do to create the things I make to a certain level of quality. It’s been fantastic to see the quality level advance so much and I know it’s going to continue to get better. It also means I can now start to create some more interesting forms and shapes to enclose these things…</p>http://everythingimakewithmymakerbot.com/post/59775993753Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:54:37 +0000makerbotThe Happiness Machinehttps://vimeo.com/73288150

<p>I know nothing about acoustic design so I’m just stumbling around with this but I’m certainly getting somewhere. The first version pretty much amplified the middle frequencies (or dampened the high frequencies) but by the time I had fiddled around to get the third version things were starting to get somewhere.</p>
<p>I know there’s some lovely wooden speaker docks that will amplify the sound and I imagine wood really helps with the timbre but I’m having fun exploring this, not least because I kind of like them as a form, especially with the slightly bigger radius on the corner of the third version. Of course the speaker grill is a little homage to transistor radios as well as Dieter Rams!</p>http://everythingimakewithmymakerbot.com/post/54937605665Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:10:00 +0000printedTransforming organic shapes into hollow models using openScad....http://everythingimakewithmymakerbot.com/post/54748599607

With these organic shapes I’ve been making on the #makerbot I’ve needed a way to make them hollow as reducing the volume cuts down print time and also drastically reduces the price on Shapeways if I want to get them printed in ceramic for instance. I tried various methods but the simple one that worked was importing the stl into openScad, duplicating it and the scaling down and subtracting this smaller version from the bigger one. It worked like a charm!</p>http://everythingimakewithmymakerbot.com/post/54748599607Sat, 06 Jul 2013 12:35:42 +0000printedLiking this new translucent blue PLA from RepRapCentral....http://everythingimakewithmymakerbot.com/post/54436918823
